Okay, the petitioners have been heard, and consolidation has succumbed to the
scourge of bullet points. The eight of you who cared should be happier, but I
can't imagine there's an unhappy silent majority on this, as it is pretty
innocuous.

The recent spate of insane autumn weather around here continued through
yesterday... Flood warnings abound, and there's been some minor flooding in the
area, and we've had a spate of little sporadic power outages, including one
stretch of about 30 seconds where the lights here went off and on five times in
a row (in times like these I feel like I should be planning a holiday
bonus for my UPSes).
